Privacy Icons
https://disconnect.me/icons

Privacy policies are too complicated and they have simplified them. Privacy Icons shows you a set of icons for every site you visit and search result you see. At a glance, you'll understand the most important terms from a website’s privacy policy and other information about how your data is collected, used and handled. These icons evolved from a Mozilla-led working group that included some of the most prominent privacy organizations, like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Center for Democracy and Technology, and W3C. Privacy Icons is powered by data from the TRUSTe Privacy Policy Database, which includes in-depth analysis of the privacy policies of thousands of websites around the world. Features include: a) Expected Use - Does this website’s privacy policy disclose whether data it collects about you is used in ways other than you would reasonably expect given the site’s service?; b) Expected Collection - Does this website’s privacy policy disclose whether it allows other companies like ad providers and analytics firms to track users on the site?; c) Precise Location - Does this website’s privacy policy disclose whether the site or service tracks a user’s actual geolocation?; d) Data Retention - Does this website's privacy policy disclose how long they retain your personal data?; e) Do Not Track - Does this website comply with a user’s Do Not Track browser preference?; f) Children Privacy - Has this website received TRUSTe’s Children’s Privacy Certification?; g) SSL Support - Does this website support secure communications over HTTPS by default?; h) Heartbleed - Is this website vulnerable to the heartbleed bug?; and i) TRUSTe Certified - Has this website received TRUSTe’s Privacy Certification? This will be added to Privacy Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
